Hammer

Hammer

Is a small component within a watch movement that strikes a gong to produce a specific tone. Its function is to provide a precise strike on the gong to create a clear and distinctive sound.

Typically made of steel, the hammer is connected to the striking mechanism within the watch. When activated, the hammer moves back and forth, striking the gong, resulting in a musical tone or a specific sound. The movement of the hammer is carefully studied to ensure accurate and consistent striking of the gong.

Note: Not all watches contain a hammer. It is primarily found in watches with striking complications such as minute repeaters or alarm functions.
